Nintendo Files For An Object-Detecting Patent
Apr 7, 2016
Just in case you weren't completely freaked out by the satellites in space detecting you every move (or Google) Nintendo is joining the party. In 2014, Nintendo filed for a patent for a device with the ability to find objects and use them as IRL game controllers. This patent was made public on Tuesday (April 5) and details the technical specs for a device that uses both cameras and mirrors to detect objects in its immediate vicinity.

Nintendo Announces The Discontinuing Of Several Amiibos
Dec 19, 2014
Ebay and the internet have exploded with the news that Nintendo is discontinuing the Villager, Marth, and Wii Fit Trainer amiibos.
